but the entire south, had turned out to see the
president. Atlanta, on yesterday, was a CITY
and no mistake. In Chicago Yenacular there
were "no flies on this town"
Tho president and his lovely wife were shown
the city, and on all sides were greeted by the
heartiest receptions. Then they were driven
TO the exposition grounds, where they were
greeted by more people than had ever before
gotten together in the south.
In the evening there were dinners and re-
ception, in which the distinguished guests met
the elite Of southern society," fitting close to
an eventful day.
Owing to the preference OF President Cleve-
land to meet the members Of the general assem-
bly, individually and not in their official capac-
ity, his excellency did not visit the hall Of the
house Of representatives as anticipated IL
was arranged, however, that President Cleye-
land and wife receive the members OF the geii-
eral assembly and state officials there. Tho
central room occupied by Major j. w. Warren
and Judge j. r. Nisbet was suitably arranged
and prepared forthe occasion. Marietta street
in front and Forsyth street on the side, were
densely packed with people, and the pressure
was great indeed to get inside the capitol
building. But the police stood at the entrance
like q stone wall 10 keep ont the living tide
seeking 10 flow in. They did their duty well,
and even had tho haidil.ood 20 try TO keep ont
reporters. The police from the number who
claimed 10 be members Of the house and seeking
admission report somewhere in the neighbour
hood Of 337 members. Tho crowded condi-
ton OF the streets prevented anything like
celebrity in the movement Of the procession Of
tho president. 1t was nearing high noon when

$4,000 SOUTHERNERS
Greet the President and His Wife
in Atlanta.
THEIR RECEPTIONS WHILE HERE.

President Cleveland and his beautiful wife
are the guests of the south today. Atlanta
plays the part of the host, but it was the cheers
of the entire south which rent the air last
Night as the train, bearing the presidential
party, rolled into the city.
Cleveland is the first president of the United
States in whose heart the southern people of
the present generation feel that they have had
a place 1t was with expectancy that they
watched him as he made his detour through
the west; it was with renewed patriotic i'm
pulse that they welcomed him as he crossed
the border-line of Dixie; it was with the pent-
up ardor of life time that those of them who
could be in Atlanta last night stood for four
hours under the drenching rain that they
might look upon his face.
When the cannon belched forth their well
come the sound was caught up by tens OF thou
sands of voices, and the famous quotation used
by Ben Hill in his reply to Blaine could we'll
have been paraphrased to read "The presi-
dent is at home among his countrymen, thank
God, and they are equal to the task of protect
ing him and the integrity Of the union which
4e represents. But the story Of Clevelaad'a
ride into southern hearts as well as southern
territory will speak for itself

and ere tho light faded away, leaving the
darkness more intense, the fire works closed
IN blaze OF many colored lights of glory that
the cloud could not depress.
First--A grayish or frost-eolored light
CLEANED out from the intense darkness, then
as the sharp reports of two exploding bombs
shook the air a mellow roseate cloud seemed
rising above the mountain whose shaggy out
INES were coming out in relief. This in
creased until for hundreds of yards around
q hue like that of the atmosphere at sunset
took the place Of the night shadows. Then
sound like the irregular rattle of muSketry
greeted the ears of the spectators and the next
instant like scores of shooting stars the rockets
aarted over the side of the mountain, falling
like yeritable shower of gold
The very obscurity which the thick mists
seemed struggling TO drag around it, added a
Ylerd appearance of mystery which was almost
awe-inspiring.
And like the sunsets radiant glow it melt
cd aWay, and was swallowed up by the sable
flood OF night.

The run to Big Shanty was made in about
two hours, and along the route evidences
could be seen that the people expected some
thing unusual. Houses were lighted, each
window blazing out in the darkness, here and
there big bonfres were burning and hundreds
Of people were gathered along the railroad to
welcome the coming of the president.
At Big Shanty the special train was re-
yersed, being placed in front in order that it
might act as flag train to the presidents
special. After all had been arranged, the
presidents train came laundering around
the curve, drawn by the handsomely
decorated engine prepared especially for
the occasion While the engine was taking
water at the tank, Senator Brown, accom-
panied by his sons and one or two other gem
klemen, entered the car and welcomed the
president on behalf of the Western and At

made for his safety. The senator and party
were cordially received and remained but
few minutes, returning to their own train,
which preceded the presidential train to At
